Welcome. Montana’s museums are a vibrant and refreshing cultural accompaniment to our breathtaking landscape. Formed in 1967, the Museums Association of Montana (MAM) serves each of our members by providing assistance and professional development opportunities through our annual conference, newsletter, and member network. Our Yegen Award, named after the organizations founder, Peter Yegen Jr., honors excellence in the museum profession while our scholarships provide avenues for the achievement of the highest professional standards. The Museums Association of Montana monitors issues and legislation important to museums, education, and culture serving as a collective voice for our members speaking more loudly that we ever could as single organizations.
Through their collections of art, photos, archival material, historic objects, and historic buildings Montana’s museums preserve, document and commemorate the history of this splendid place we call home. These Museums protect Montana’s past while providing guide posts against which we can measure our current and future actions. Montana’s museums and historic preservation agencies are vital components to healthy communities and a driving force in our economy. Here, I welcome you to explore Montana’s Museums - the best in the West.
